Bovechkin Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Lately I've been wondering a lot about Miller's possible role on the team; can be play Washington's TJ Oshie type role? TJ Oshie / JT Miller: essentially someone who has grit/size, has good play hounding ability, good net-front presence, good ability to tip pucks, and good play-making ability. Personally I think Miller makes his presence felt even more, since he's got a good 25 pounds and 2 inches on Oshie; also quite young. After today's game I'm tremendously excited for Miller's future with us Fits in perfectly with an Ovi / Boeser and Backstrom / Pettersson line. I think we might have a Washington-esque first line; that's definitely something to get excited about.

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 Miller is like 25 pounds heavier than Oshie. He's gonna put up 70+ points this year. He is just warming up. He's bigger than Oshie and more versatile. Gonna be a stud come playoff time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get what your going after in your post, can Miller be somebody for us?, an offensive weapon that’s not our standout top players. Oshie has a different game play than Miller, he’s more finesses and playmaker than hard skating checker and physical playmaker IMO so it’s hard to compare there respective games. Either way can Miller be effective in adding more offensive output?, more distraction for the opponent to game plan around opening up chances for our top players. More able to help the PP succeed.

Johnny Torts Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Always supported the JT trade. 1. He is what you HOPE a first round pick turns into. 2. He plays a complete 2 way game and drives the net hard. 3. He will not put up 7 points every 5 games but he plays a consistent game, whether hes generating chances or putting points up. I love how everyone on our team can tuck it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Why not? Also, is anyone still crying that we gave up a 1st round pick to acquire this guy? Dirt cheap contract for a great young player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I just noticed Miller is leading the Canucks with 7 points. Brock has 6 and Petey/Edler have 5. And Bo only has 1 so far. Miller for Captain? XD ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Canucks Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Tbh I said it when the trade happened Miller will help us now and that first will help us in 5 years give or take. That’s proving to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
